Day by day we are renewed
Restored within His love
His love transforms our inner soul
For all He plans above
Day by day, as we waste away
Each day we are renewed
In all our troubles, pain and strife
God's love in us is true

Just as the autumn leaves will fall
To renew more life to come
So our old life, shall surely die
As we are filled with love
Each day His life is formed in us
Although we may not see it yet
We're growing deep within our hearts
The beauty He has set

Day by day our jars of clay
Display the power of Him
When crushed beneath a load of grief
His light will shine within
Day by day the love we have
Is greater than the night of death
The eternal glory yet unseen
Is all the way we're led

Though day by day our bodies fade
Within we're made the more alive
Nothing here can e'er destroy
The life within our heart that flies

Soft Whispers from
Derry's Heart Poems © 2006

And he changeth the times and the seasons:
he removeth kings, and setteth up kings:
he giveth wisdom unto the wise,
and knowledge to them
that know understanding:
Daniel 2:21 (KJV)
